## ## Firewall feature not supported for Bare Metal servers

Please note that the Firewall feature is not supported for Bare Metal servers. Unlike Virtual Machines or other cloud services that can easily integrate with cloud-native firewalls, Bare Metal servers operate directly on physical hardware and are not subject to the same level of firewall management.

For network security, Bare Metal servers can use the following alternatives:
* You can manually configure network security using solutions like **iptables** or **nftables** (recommended) to protect your server at the network level. Other similar solutions can also be used to set up necessary firewall rules based on your security needs.

```
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -P INPUT DROP
```

* For an additional layer of protection, opt for [Gcore DDoS Protection]([url](https://gcore.com/ddos-protection)) to keep your server available during attacks. DDoS Protection redirects traffic to the Threat Mitigation System (TMS), which performs filtering and threat detection, preventing service disruptions with its always-on mode.

For more information, please [reach out to our support team]([url](https://gcore.com/contact-us)) for tailored DDoS Protection plans.
